Hey everyone - my old intex 16' round died so I got an 18' intex xtr round, but had to move all my under leg blocks, underlayment (1" insulation boards), etc to accommodate the new size.
I had no trouble with the old pool, but all the legs on this one are kicked out a bit at the bottom, and I can't get them level because they hit the pool at the bottom.
This has given the legs a tendency to walk a bit, and for the top to be a little wobblier than normal (because the legs aren't 'pulling' the top ring tight).
I think also theres too much weight on the ground and not enough on the legs (the blocks are pretty level with the underlayment, and the underlayment would compress a little I thought?) which is letting them kick out/move around more than normal.
I've added more blocks around the existing blocks in case the legs starts to try and slip off (some have some partway off a block, like fractions of an inch, but just the boot, not the metal leg part)
I also added a few ratchet straps from the tops of 3 contiguous legs to the adjascent deck to 1) help those legs get and stay more upright (they're by the ladder, which was starting to touch the liner on the sides when the pool ring would flex and move) and 2) the stabilize the pool top ring so its not as prone to movement.
After the season I'll drain and re-do the feet, etc, but for the next 6-8 or so warm weeks, do I need to worry about anything?
